Julianne Moore, Alexander Skarsgard
Excellent adaptation of the novel by Henry James...transferred to present day NYC.
Daisie is seven yo and has two self-absorbed divorced parents...both of whom miss pick-up dates, times with her and generally treat her as disposable. They profess love but as soon as something comes up in their lives they dump her on their new spouses, or really just anyone.
Painful film to watch. Our hearts go out to this child ( beautifully played by Onata Aprile); we want her to find stability with adults who genuinely care.
First rate acting and direction kept this from melodrama. The whole story is told from Maisie's POV which works. Nice work all around.
